Chapter 404 What attracts him is never being obedient.
The presence of the gaze beside him was too strong for Chen Zan to ignore. He could even catch a glimpse of his careless and lazy look out of the corner of his eye.
She turned her head and met his dark gaze, pretending to be calm and composed and greeted him, "Hello."
He Jingsui looked at the girl in front of him. She had gentle eyebrows and eyes, red lips and fair skin, which overlapped with the little face in the military training team who was gritting her teeth and persevering.
He looked at her, his voice still low, and formally introduced himself to her.
"Hello, He Jingsui."
There was a deep meaning in his eyes that was hard to understand. The burning feeling made Chen Zan look away first.
Finally, He Shiyi interrupted the slightly awkward and nervous situation that made Chen Zhan feel awkward. She took Chen Zhan's arm and said to the two older boys, "Let's go! I'm starving!"
I walked through the tree-lined path all the way to the cafeteria. At this time of noon, there were many students on the road, and the colorful colors were mixed with the camouflage uniforms of the freshman military training.
Four people walking together would easily attract other people's attention, and He Jingsui happened to be among them. In just this short distance, many curious and envious eyes were cast in their direction.
It was the first time that Chen Zan felt such a large-scale gaze, and she felt a little uncomfortable. He Jingsui was right next to her, and she was already nervous, so she even breathed much lighter unconsciously.
Fortunately, He Shiyi and Jiang Qiannan bickered along the way, adding a lot of jokes.
He Shiyi mentioned the instructor of her company, saying that he was unreasonable at all. He made them train under the sun, and their skin became darker after a few hours.
Jiang Qiannan deliberately teased her by saying that she was dark-skinned. The two of them played and joked along the way, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Until He Jingsui spoke, his tone lazy and a little disgusted, "That's enough."
He Shiyi withdrew her hand, playfully stuck out her tongue at Jiang Qiannan, and took Chen Zhan's arm. She turned her head and asked Chen Zhan, "Zhan Zhan, how is your instructor?"
The topic was suddenly thrown to her, and Chen Zhan's heart skipped a beat. There was a bit of panic in his eyes, "Huh?"
Her instructor was right next to her, what was she supposed to say?
Before he could think of a good answer, He Shiyi asked again, "Is he handsome?"
It was difficult to back down. She pressed the issue so hard that Chen Zhan had no choice but to nod under the gaze that was so hot that it almost burned a hole in her heart. Her face was very red and her voice was very low, "Hmm..."
The instructor, who was praised by her for being handsome, was in a good mood and curled the corners of his lips. A lazy smile appeared on his brows, and he crossed his arms over his chest. Even his steps were brisk and happy as he strolled in the garden.
He Jingsui's gaze drifted to the person beside him. He could only see part of her cheek, which was fair with a hint of pink, tanned by the sun.
He Shiyi continued to ask, "So, were you particularly excited during training? Handsome instructor, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
The two girls under the handsome instructor's watchful eye were one excited and one shy, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Chen Zhan's ears blushed, and he secretly grasped the corner of He Shiyi's clothes with his fingers, somewhat embarrassedly asking her to stop talking.
Thinking that He Jingsui's laughter was embarrassing, He Shiyi turned her head and looked at her brother strangely. She was still in the dark and didn't know the reason for the laughter.
Confused, he asked He Jingsui, "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"
He Jingsui just smiled as usual, his voice deep and touching.
Jiang Qiannan didn't understand either, so he put his hand on He Shiyi's shoulder and said, "Ignore your brother, he must be crazy."
Later, when eating in the cafeteria, He Shiyi learned that He Jingsui was Chen Zan's instructor, and the handsome instructor she had praised all the way was her brother.
How boring.
She put down her chopsticks and looked speechlessly at He Jingsui who was sitting opposite her, "Brother, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I told you before, can this bastard hear our classmate Chen praising his handsomeness?" Jiang Qiannan mercilessly exposed his intentions, even commenting, "Instructor He, you're quite scheming."
He Jingsui's lips curled up deeply, with an ambiguous meaning. He took it for granted to accept the comments from his bad friends.
But these words made Chen Zan's cheeks hot, and she even regretted her answer to He Shiyi. She pretended to be calm and buried her head in eating.
But her trembling eyelashes betrayed her.
When He Jingsui raised his eyes, he saw the girl burying her head lower and lower like an ostrich.
She stretched out her foot and kicked him under the table, "Can't I even shut you up while eating?"
"I'm telling the truth—"
He Jing then kicked again.
“…”
Jiang Qiannan was convinced, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore."
He looked at He Shiyi who was sitting opposite him, picked up a large chicken drumstick and put it in her bowl, and said to her with a smile: "Our sister Shiyi is still the best. Come, eat more."
He Shiyi's eyes curved as he thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Qiannan."
Then he grabbed the chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, which was so full that it looked like a little goldfish.
Jiang Qiannan was afraid that she would choke, so he asked her to eat slowly.
He Jingsui happened to raise his eyelids and glance over, and He Shiyi had a worthless silly smile on his face.
He Jingsui immediately showed disdain and snorted softly, "Look at what you've accomplished."
He Shiyi ignored the words and finished half of the chicken leg. She looked up and was about to show off to He Jingsui, but she saw a girl walking towards them.
The girl is very beautiful, wearing a white halter dress that reaches her ankles, a thin black belt outlining her slender waist, and long curly hair gently draped over her shoulders. Her eyebrows and eyes are expressive and her gaze is radiant.
The graceful body also caught Chen Zan's attention.
She watched her approach, her face filled with shyness and excitement. She was very familiar with this expression, having seen it thousands of times in high school.
After all, where He Jingsui is, such things are inevitable.
Sure enough, the next second, the girl spoke and called his name, "He Jingsui."
Everyone around who heard the noise turned their heads to look over.
He Jingsui also raised his eyes to look at her, his expression calm, and said in a light tone: "What's the matter?"
The girl nodded shyly, her posture reserved and her smile gentle. "There are too many people here. Can we talk outside?"
He Jing then stood up and left with her.
They didn't walk far before choosing a place with few people around. The handsome man and the beautiful woman stood face to face, and many people looked over, including Chen Zhan.
In the bustling crowd, she looked up at them, the girl speaking shyly, a hint of admiration in her eyes. The boy stood with his hands in his pockets, his posture somewhat nonchalant, his idleness enough to be a charm.
Maybe she said something nice or interesting, He Jing curled the corners of his lips, and a lazy smile appeared in his eyes.
Even though she knew it had nothing to do with her, Chen Zhan couldn't help but feel disappointed. She lowered her eyelashes slightly to block her vision, feeling a mixture of emotions. There were many voices around her, everyone was speculating whether the girl was going to confess her love to He Jingsui. Rumors were swirling, and Chen Zhan chewed the almost cold rice, feeling a bit tasteless.
"My brother's charm is still as strong as it was back then—" He Shiyi supported his face with his hands, sighing as he watched.
"He's more than the same as before," Jiang Qiannan echoed, "This guy has been surrounded by peach blossoms since high school. Those girls are like moths to a flame, and they won't turn back even if they hit a wall."
"The way you describe it..." He Shiyi glanced at him with disdain. After all, He Jingsui was still his blood brother, and he still protected him at the critical moment. "You're almost describing my brother as a scumbag. How can it be like what you said?"
"That's right," Jiang Qiannan said without giving in. "At No. 1 Middle School, your brother has a title: the Arsonist of Hearts."
“…”
He Shiyi rolled her eyes speechlessly at him and commented, "What a crappy title! So old-fashioned."
“…”
Perhaps because the topic had come up again, Jiang Qiannan asked curiously, but this time it was to Chen Zan, "Oh, by the way, classmate Chen, which school did you graduate from?"
Chen Zan was still distracted by He Jingsui and that girl. When she heard Jiang Qiannan calling her, she came back to her senses a little slowly and answered his question, "Me? I graduated from Jingbei No. 1 Middle School."
As if he had found evidence proving that He Jingsui was a "heart arsonist," Jiang Qiannan's eyes lit up instantly, "Are you from Beijing No. 1 Middle School? Then we're alumni!"
He stared at Chen Zan excitedly and asked her impatiently, "Did you know He Jingsui when you were in high school?"
"You should know this guy is very famous in No. 1 Middle School."
He asked and answered his own questions, as if guaranteeing that Chen Zan definitely knew it.
But if I say I know him, how can I explain why I pretended to be a stranger before? Will they think I am a scheming bad girl?
To prevent this from happening, she didn't say she knew him for sure, but lied a little and compromised by saying, "I've only heard of him, but I don't know him."
There was insufficient evidence to accuse her of being a "heart arsonist," but Jiang Qiannan was certain that she was a model student who studied hard in high school.
"Needless to say, Zhanzhan looks like a good student," He Shiyi said, turning to look at her, his eyes curled with smug delight, "But I didn't expect that you'd also be at Jingbei No. 1 Middle School. It must be fate that brought us together."
Chen Zan smiled and didn't respond.
Later, He Jingsui came back, and Jiang Qiannan teased him, "Are you here to pursue you again?"
He Jingsui glanced at him coldly and ignored him.
Jiang Qiannan, however, seemed to have seen through the phenomenon and chuckled with absolute certainty, proving it to He Shiyi, "I told you, your brother is very popular. No matter where he goes, there are women who like him."
"But don't tell me," Jiang Qiannan hissed, rubbing his chin with his fingers as if considering something. "That girl just now was quite good-looking, and dressed in a gentle and well-behaved style. Ah Sui, do you like that style?"
He was a little curious, but what he got was not He Jingsui's answer, but a glare from him, "You talk too much."
Jiang Qiannan fell silent instantly and buried his head in eating.
He Shiyi was also curious about this question. She held her cheeks with both hands and said, "Brother, to be honest, that senior girl just now was quite pretty. She's different from the girls who were around you before. Do you like her or not?"
She was naturally curious about gossip, so He Jing snorted in boredom. He put down his chopsticks, leaned back lazily, and crossed his arms across his chest.
His eyebrows and eyes were particularly eye-catching under the light, dark and sharp, staring at her indifferently.
As an older brother, He Shiyi felt that he always had an oppressive temperament, especially when talking to her, which made her feel a little nervous and timid.
Every time this happened, she couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes wandered around, but she really wanted to know what type of girls He Jingsui liked over the years.
With only a little courage left, she asked, "Just tell me, do you like her or not? Just to satisfy my curiosity."
"dislike."
His brother's lazy words caught He Shiyi off guard and he was shocked, "Huh?"
"Why?"
He Jing then said lightly, "You're so good."
The tone was a bit perfunctory, but it was enough to make his position clear.
As he spoke, Chen Zan's heart felt inexplicably gripped.
But even though he was being perfunctory, he was not wrong.
What attracts him will never be being obedient.
